Overview

The nRF52832 is a powerful multiprotocol SoC that combines a 64 MHz ARM Cortex-M4 processor with an integrated 2.4 GHz radio supporting Bluetooth v5.3. Featuring 512kB of Flash and 64kB of RAM, it provides a flexible platform for wireless applications that require local processing and a floating-point unit.

Why Choose This Part

The inclusion of a hardware FPU and DSP instructions allows for complex mathematical operations without significantly impacting power consumption. It features a highly efficient power management system with a peak TX current of 5.3mA and a system OFF sleep current of 0.3 microamps.

Applications

Wearable Devices
Ideal for fitness trackers and smart watches due to the ultra-low power consumption and integrated FPU for sensor fusion.
Smart Home Hubs
Acts as a bridge between Bluetooth sensors and local control systems using its 32 GPIOs for hardware interfacing.
Industrial IoT Sensors
Enables wireless data logging with long battery life in environments requiring high-speed data processing.
Wireless HID
Used in low-latency mice and keyboards that benefit from the 2.4 GHz radio and GFSK modulation.
